EMPIRE
“BLACK DIAMOND EXPRESS” “The Black Diamond Express.” starring Mont© Blue, is one of the new pictures to be shown at the Empire Theatre to-night. Monte Blue, as Dan Foster, engineer, epitomises all that is fine, strong and loyal in the railroad man. His pride is that he is always in on schedule, that he can put bread in the mouths of his widowed sister’s children, that he is in good standing with his employers and with the men of the Brotherhood. That the speeding car of a joy-rid-ing society girl should crash into his train, causing the first accident identified with his name, is a grief to him, but this is forgo.tten in pity for the girl. Pity turns easily into love, and before he knows it, he is engaged to a girl whose mother comes to plead that she cannot stand poverty. The second feature on the programme, “Publicity Madness,” starring Lois Moran and Edmund Lowe, is a hilarious comedy on modern business, from a story by Anita Loos.
